Components:
   (1) Nitroethane; C2H5NO2; [79-24-3]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Oils; ; []  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail

Original Measurements:
   Kozlov, L.M.; Volpert, V.I., Khim. Tekhnol. Topl. Masel (4), 26-8 (1968).

Variables:
   Temperature = 326 K to 389 K

Prepared By:
   N. V. Sazonov

Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
  

Solubility temperatures of nitroethane (1) and oil (2) mixtures ratio 3:1

t/°C	T/K	Initial Temperature (TIn)	Chemical Name
52.5	325.7	-56 (Freezing point oil/°C)	Diesel fuel
75.5	348.7	-45.5	Distillate oil
88.0	361.2	-33	Distillate oil
